Clojure in a nutshell by James Trunk

Learn the basics of Clojure syntax and functional thinking.

James Trunk introduces Clojure as a language that separates data from functionality, prioritizing data as a first-class citizen. He discusses the core data structures in Clojure and the advantages of immutability. James also explains how Clojure differs from other languages by making data structures a core part of the language. He demonstrates the "threadlast" macro for a more natural reading of code and highlights Clojure's dynamic and data-driven nature. James showcases examples of data analysis and manipulation using Clojure's functions and introduces the concept of a REPL for real-time code manipulation. He concludes by creating a custom function in Clojure and emphasizing the simplicity and conciseness of Clojure code.
